University of Illinois Press The Newspaper Indian
Book SynopsisNewspapers catalyzed public opinion in the nineteenth century, and the press''s coverage and practices shaped the representation of Native Americans for white audiences. John M. Coward delves into the complex ways journalism both perpetuated and created the many stereotypes of the American Indian.The newspaper Indian emerged not only from centuries of stereotypes but also as an Other standing in the way of economic growth and national expansion. As economic entities hungry for profits, newspapers sought colorful and exciting stories that attracted readers and confirmed the correctness of American values and goals. Journalists came to rely on easily understood formulas and clichés to explain American Indians while the changing technology of newsgathering promoted a fact-based but narrow native identity that standardized the representations of indigenous peoples. The result was a harsh, paternalistic identity that dominated American newspapers for decades—and stillTrade Review"Greeley's contempt for Indian people as lazy, violent, unprogressive, and unworthy of justice mirrored a larger national view that had flourished since the first captivity narratives had been published in Puritan New England. . . . Coward's book emerges as the most comprehensive and authoritative account of journalistic treatment of American Indians in the nineteenth century."--Michael L. Tate, South Dakota History"Coward's outstanding study places Indian stereotyping within a broader historical context and demonstrates the continuity of popular misconceptions. . . . Extremely well written, researched, and organized, this monograph makes a major contribution to nineteenth-century Native American historiography and provides unique insights into the press's role in molding the popular imagination."--Thomas A. Britten, The Historian"Ideal for an undergraduate class since it is written in an informed and up-to-date, but very accessible style. . . . An engaging read."--Gillian Poulter, Left History"A strong contribution to research engaging the complexities resulting from the nineteenth-century newspaper accounts of American Indians. . . . A lucid analysis of why perceptions of American Indians by the American public and the American press even to this day are biased, unbalanced, and unclear."--John Sanchez, Rhetoric and Public Affairs"Every scholar who uses newspaper sources in the study of nineteenth-century Indian affairs would do well to read it carefully."--Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., New Mexico Historical Review

Beyond that the book is replete with scores of tales, jokes, songs, and close readings of obscure words and their derivation. It is a gold mine for those who appreciate the region's culture." --North Carolina Historical Review ""Anyone who appreciates entertaining stories, plaintive ballads, and ribald humor will enjoy this collection of biographies of four of the pre-eminent folklorists of Appalachia. . . .The charm of the book lies in the ballads, tales, humorous stories and songs accompanying each of the short profiles." --Southeastern Librarian"The strength of Jones's book is his familiarity with each of his subjects, three of whom he knew personally, and two of whom--Williams and Roberts--he knew well. Jones's intimate knowledge of each man and his work makes his scholarly essays about them read more like memoir than scholarship, though the essays are indeed scholarly." --West Virginia History“Loyal Jones’s engaging collection of biographies brings to life four prominent figures of twentieth-century Appalachian folkways whose names will be familiar to many readers but only distantly.

This book makes an important contribution to communication scholarship." --Journal of Communication"An exciting project that promises to impact understandings of Native American mascots in powerful ways. Mascot Nation provides fresh perspectives on the use of American Indian imagery in sport. Rather than restate existing arguments in the ongoing controversy, Billings and Black weave together established understandings and new empirical research to clarify not simply what mascots mean but also how they matter in sport and society. Of particular note, they craft a well-rounded and fully grounded account by engaging with people and perspectives from all sides of the controversy. Mascot Nation will become essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the study and struggle over Native American mascots. It will soon come to be seen as an exemplar for the study of sport communications."--C. Richard King, author of Redskins: Insult and Brand"Valuable . . .

Well researched and clearly written, this account offers a novel, interdisciplinary, multidimensional approach. Recommended." --Choice"Mascot Nation fills a gap by casting a wide net and offering conclusions backed by the diverse cast of disciplines that are engaged in mascot research." --H-Net Reviews"In Mascot Nation, Andrew Billings and Jason Black have taken on an enduring controversy in the study of sport and culture. Their savvy multi-method study illuminates how embedded representations of Native American mascots have built historical affinities that fans have for sports teams and highlights the important role that media has played in constructing and celebrating problematic understandings of Native Americans and their traditions. Through careful deconstruction of the central tendencies in case studies of media practices and the debates around them, this is a seminal study that will challenge sports fans to reconsider the harms in the legacies that have naturalized misunderstandings of Native American cultures."--Lawrence Wenner, editor-in-chief, Communication & Sport

University of Illinois Press Black Indians and Freedmen
Book SynopsisOften seen as ethnically monolithic, the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in fact successfully pursued evangelism among diverse communities of indigenous peoples and Black Indians. Christina Dickerson-Cousin tells the little-known story of the AME Church's work in Indian Territory, where African Methodists engaged with people from the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles) and Black Indians from various ethnic backgrounds. These converts proved receptive to the historically Black church due to its traditions of self-government and resistance to white hegemony, and its strong support of their interests. The ministers, guided by the vision of a racially and ethnically inclusive Methodist institution, believed their denomination the best option for the marginalized people. Dickerson-Cousin also argues that the religious opportunities opened up by the AME Church throughout the West provided another impetus for Black migration. Insightful and Trade Review"An excellent study that analyzes the role of the AME Church members in westward expansion and migration who provided stability and institution building to many Black settlements in the West, incorporated Black Indians within the larger African American community, and evangelized among Native American populations."--Lawrence S.

This highly influential work undoubtedly makes an important contribution to the field of ethnomusicology, containing essays that will become widely cited."--Beverley Diamond, author of Native American Music in Eastern North America: Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture"A fascinating and innovative collection of case studies, including work by Native American scholars as well as articles co-authored by non-Native scholars and Native community members.

University of Notre Dame Press Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes War
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Using a suite of analytical approaches, Richard Edwards’s Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes tackles many of the notions that have grown around the perceived cultural differences in cultural distinction distributed up and down the Mississippi river basin. He has drawn on an impressive array of data and research to support his arguments.” —James A. Brown, co-author of Cahokia"For the general archaeological community Edwards's demonstration that agriculture was organized among the Oneota without accompanying social complexity and hierarchy should serve as a wakeup call for all to carefully examine long-held assumptions. This is a valuable study for its methods, its comparative analysis, and its conclusions about agriculture and cultural complexity." —Choice"While Edwards’s focus looks back to a long tradition of midwestern environmental studies, his scientific rigor and comprehensive investigations mark the way forward for such research. Edwards’s Indigenous Lives sets the bar high for the new Midwest Archaeological Perspectives series." —Michigan Historical Review"Edwards's work, specifically relating to Koshkonong reliance on agriculture along with constrained mobility, is groundbreaking, and it represents an important shift from generalized Oneota paradigms with assumptions of broad diet breadth and increased logistical mobility." —American Antiquity

University of Texas Press Evos Bolivia
Book SynopsisAn accessible account of Evo Morales's first six years in office, offering analysis of major issues as well as interviews with a wide variety of people, resulting in a valuable primer on Bolivia and Morales's process of change.Trade ReviewIn Evo’s Bolivia, Farthing and Kohl engage in a probing analysis of these pressing issues that are critical to the survival of our planet. The result is a successful, thoughtful, and compelling book that is written in a fluid and accessible style. The narrative is interspersed with interviews the authors conducted across Bolivia. As a result, the book achieves an admirable balance of providing an excellent entry point for those with little background in Bolivia as well as key insights for scholars and activists with a long history in the country. * Upside Down World *Evo’s Bolivia should be read as the definitive history of what has arguably been the most significant decade in the history of that country, and in that of the Andean region. * The Americas *Evo's Bolivia is, in many regards, the chronicle of the post-neoliberal transition period that I had hoped for. Farthing and Kohl present an incisive analysis of the contentious political moment of Morales's election and the years immediately after. * American Association of Geographers Review of Books *What is unique about Evo’s Bolivia is its breadth and accessibility. The text is inter-spersed with anecdotes and direct extracts from interviews; these combined voices provide a vivid and engaging window onto the process of change as it unfolds. The book makes Bolivia legible to the uninformed reader and would be excellent material for undergraduate teaching. * Journal of Latin American Studies *In their insightful evaluation of the continuity and change within Evo’s Bolivia from 2009 to 2014, two well-established country experts, Linda Farthing and the late Benjamin Kohl, have done precisely that. Thus it would be a mistake to dismiss this comprehensive, extensively researched and readable book as anything but excellent scholarship by two solidarity activists who are unafraid to be critical as well as thoughtful and balanced in their assessments of the positives and negatives of Bolivia’s first indigenous and social movements-dominated administration. * Latin American Perspectives *Table of Contents Preface Acknowledgments List of Abbreviations Chapter 1.

This immediacy is fitting, of course. Ecological threats aren't the kind of thing that can wait to be resolved. Unlikely Alliances is also, ultimately, a hopeful text, one that celebrates a kind of progress in these alliances." -- John Gamber * Transmotion *"The most valuable contribution of Grossman’s detailed study is that it provides a useful guide for building alliances against environmentally destructive projects and evaluating what strategies have been successful, and which ones have not worked so well, in defending rural land, resources and cultures." -- Al Gedicks * Race & Class *"Unlikely Alliances is particularly salient in a contemporary context of both political gridlock and increasing environmental threats. With specific attention to each rural context, Grossman acknowledges complexity and the dynamic intersecting factors that allow Native/white alliances to thrive or, conversely, to erode and dissolve. The lessons he offers from rural Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Nevada, and beyond support the place based work of constructing collaboration across lines of historic conflict." * Native & Indigenous Studies Journal *Table of ContentsIntroduction Part One | Running Upstream 1.

Book SynopsisAmerican Indian business is booming. The number of American Indian and Alaska Nativeowned businesses increased by 15.3 percent from 2007 to 2012a time when the total number of US businesses increased by just 2 percentand receipts grew from $34.4 million in 2002 to $8.8 billion in 2012. Despite this impressive growth, there is an absence of small businesses on reservations, and Native Americans own private businesses at the lowest rate per capita for any ethnic or racial group in the United States. Many Indigenous entrepreneurs face unique cultural and practical challenges in starting, locating, and operating a business, from a perceived lack of a culture of entrepreneurship and a suspicion of capitalism to the difficulty of borrowing start-up funds when real estate is held in trust and cannot be used as collateral.

University of Washington Press Reclaimers
Book SynopsisFor most of the past century, Humbug Valley, a forest-hemmed meadow sacred to the Mountain Maidu tribe, was in the grip of a utility company. Washington's White Salmon River was saddled with a fish-obstructing, inefficient dam, and the Timbisha Shoshone Homeland was unacknowledged within the boundaries of Death Valley National Park. Until people decided to reclaim them.In Reclaimers, Ana Maria Spagna drives an aging Buick up and down the long strip of West Coast mountain rangesthe Panamints, the Sierras, the Cascadesand alongside rivers to meet the people, many of them wise women, who persevered for decades with little hope of success to make changes happen. In uncovering their heroic stories, Spagna seeks a way for herself, and for all of us, to take back and to make right in a time of unsettling ecological change.Trade Review"Spagna’s enthusiasm for their dedication and causes is irresistible. Such struggles are the real deal, after all, and what reader wouldn’t cheer on these tenacious underdogs trying to remedy past damage? We’re blessed with opportunities to make a difference, the writing shows…The lessons of her journeys, those readers can glean from these pages, are ‘Do what you can. Hope without hope. Expect the unexpected." -- Irene Wanner * Seattle Times *"The most influential book I’ve read recently. . . . It’s not a typical story of adventure, but I found it absolutely motivating to get out and learn about our wild places, cherish them, and listen to the stories of people who call them home. It also makes very clear that adventure is not just found high up on a rock face or in a deep snowy couloir – the world is full of places to take risks and dive deep into, to be curious and ambitious and wild and bold." -- Jenny Abegg * Outdoor Research Verticulture blog *Table of ContentsPrologue: The Low Ground Part One | A Red-Lettered Sign 1.

University of Washington Press Shapes of Native Nonfiction
Book SynopsisJust as a basket's purpose determines its materials, weave, and shape, so too is the purpose of the essay related to its material, weave, and shape. Editors Elissa Washuta and Theresa Warburton ground this anthology of essays by Native writers in the formal art of basket weaving. Using weaving techniques such as coiling and plaiting as organizing themes, the editors have curated an exciting collection of imaginative, world-making lyric essays by twenty-seven contemporary Native writers from tribal nations across Turtle Island into a well-crafted basket.Shapes of Native Nonfiction features a dynamic combination of established and emerging Native writers, including Stephen Graham Jones, Deborah Miranda, Terese Marie Mailhot, Billy-Ray Belcourt, Eden Robinson, and Kim TallBear. Their ambitious, creative, and visionary work with genre and form demonstrate the slippery, shape-changing possibilities of Native stories. Considered together, they offer responses to broader qTrade Review"In this anthology, shape matters. It turns the essay into a resistant form, pushing against the myth of the ‘disappearing Native’ and asserting a new narrative, one that isn’t subject to colonizing. . . . Shapes of Native Nonfiction is full of cognitive and emotional work. It turns the essay into something alive and breathing." * Cincinnati Review *"The medium is the message in this formally daring anthology of essays from Native writers, organized into basket-weaving themes such as ‘coiling’ and ‘plaiting.’ In these 27 essays by writers hailing from multiple tribal nations, some established and some newcomers, the Native experience is interrogated, elucidated, and celebrated." * Esquire *"It’s not hard to imagine this work as a staple of creative writing course syllabi for years to come. A must for any library." * Library Journal *"In gathering contemporary Native nonfiction, this book elucidates the roots of the form-conscious essay and brings together the exciting current work of Native writers. In a sweeping decolonizing gesture, this anthology challenges the nonfiction canon as it’s been taught and creates a porous new space in its place." * Essay Daily *"Shapes of Native Nonfiction is. . . an accessible, engaging book, both for those who have read widely on the subject and for those seeking a place to begin." * New York Journal of Books *"The volume seems to be the work of a master weaver expertly managing the warp and weft of the threads—everything in its place, everything serving its purpose. These vibrant essays and writings acknowledge the wounds of the past but are not confined or defined by them. Rather, the contributors, who include Siku Allooloo, Natanya Ann Pulley, Ernestine Hayes, Chip Livingston, and Michael Wasson, narrate a living, dynamic future." * Choice *"This new collection of essays from established and emerging contemporary Indigenous writers is stunning both in depth and scope. . . . The collection, expertly curated and structured by writer and Cowlitz Indian Tribe member Elissa Washuta (whose incredible essay Apocalypse Logic also appears here) and literary scholar Theresa Warburton, shines in every piece and in its existence as a whole. . . . In these pages, storytelling is a way of developing new Native nonfiction literary possibility." * Literary Hub *"Shapes of Native Nonfiction introduces the reader to a unique collection of voices, telling stories that shift from lost to living language, from history to lived experience. These shifts create new shapes for Indigenous writers to inhabit, explore and share. In this anthology, that shaping makes for a powerful read, and an absolutely necessary one." * High Country News *"A veritable feast of First Nations and Native American writers that readers may otherwise never have discovered." * World Literature Today (WLT) *"In this far-ranging collection of essays, Indigenous writers explore family, home, landscape, identity, trauma, history, and memory. Some of the essays are about writing itself. Others tell stories about particular experiences or moments. Still others are more outwardly focused, exploring art, culture, and politics. Part of what makes this book so unique is the various innovative forms the essays take." * Book Riot *

University of Washington Press Proud Raven Panting Wolf
Book SynopsisAmong Southeast Alaska's best-known tourist attractions are its totem parks, showcases for monumental wood sculptures by Tlingit and Haida artists. Although the art form is centuries old, the parks date back only to the waning years of the Great Depression, when the US government reversed its policy of suppressing Native practices and began to pay Tlingit and Haida communities to restore older totem poles and move them from ancestral villages into parks designed for tourists. Dramatically altering the patronage and display of historic Tlingit and Haida crests, this New Deal restoration project had two key aims: to provide economic aid to Native people during the Depression and to recast their traditional art as part of America's heritage. Less evident is why Haida and Tlingit people agreed to lend their crest monuments to tourist attractions at a time when they were battling the US Forest Service for control of their traditional lands and resources.

Against the backdrop of ongoing anti-Blackness and Indigenous erasure that has sought to undermine this rich culture, Louisiana Creoles have found transformative ways to uphold solidarity, kinship, and continuity, retaking Louisiana Creole agency as a post-contact Afro-Indigenous culture. Engaging themes as varied as foodways, queer identity, health, historical trauma, language revitalization, and diaspora, Louisiana Creole Peoplehood explores vital ways a specific Afro-Indigenous community asserts agency while promoting cultural sustainability, communal dialogue, and community reciprocity.

Book SynopsisTraces the series of events which culminated in the 1802 and 1804 Battles of Sitka, a turning point in the history of the Tlingit people of southeast Alaska and, ultimately, in the history of America.Trade ReviewI highly recommend this book as well as the earlier volumes in the 'Classics of Tlingit Oral Literature' series. It represents thorough, punctilious scholarship that reflects both multicultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. Even readers who do not study Northwest Coast traditions should examine it as a model for ethnohistorical presentation. * Journal of Folklore Research *A quarter-century in the making, it is well worth the wait . . . . Some of the Russian documents appear in translation and print for the first time, as do most of the welcome Tlingit voices, which finally present their point of view to readers. * Alaska History *The monograph is well designed, illustrated and printed by the University of Washington Press. I highly recommend it both for students of Alaska studies and those interested in the Russian-Tlingit relations of the Russian-American period in Alaska. * Juneau Empire *It needs to be stressed that the editors totally succeeded in finding their own way of dealing with this heavily studied topic . . . . they have created an excellent reader that will serve as a resource not only for those who are interested in Tlingit history and Russian America but also for instructors and students who may want to explore Russian imperial, Pacific Northwest, American West, and Native American history. * H-Net *I think that this is the type of work that Franz Boas, the founder of American anthropology, dreamed of seeing one day. Not only is this book a bi-cultural interpretation of two historical events, it is also filled with insights, explanations, and information that the rest of us, as anthropologists and historians, must stand back and admire. * Arctic *A richly detailed book comprised of Tlingit oral narratives, Russian manuscripts and other historic documents that took more than 20 years to complete. * Juneau Empire *The color plates and figures are beautiful and the coverage is comprehensive, making this a model record of motivations, attitudes, and perceptions as well as events. * Book News *Presents documents setting out works of Tlingit oral history in parallel with Russian and other documents referring to the same events, the two 'battles' of Sitka that took place in 1802 and 1804 . . . a most impressive work of scholarship. * Polar Record *Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsRussians in Tlingit America: New Perspectives on the Baranov Era, 1792-1818Section I -- The Prelude: First Encounters of Russians and TlingitsSection II -- The First Battle Encounter: Prince William Sound, 1792Section III -- The First Settlement in Tlingit Territory: Yakutat, 1796Section IV -- The Russian Push into Southeast Alaska before 1799Section V -- The Founding of Old Sitka, 1799Section VI - The Battle of 1802 at Old SitkaSection VII - Baranov Returns: The Battle of 1804 at Indian RiverSection VIII - And Life Goes On: 1805-186, 1818Section IX - Bilingual TextsAppendixes Gazetteer Glossary References Index Color Plates Maps and Charts Figures
